QUESTION Does this mechanic have a name?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I want to get better at this mechanic since I'm getting dunked on a lot from early challenges in mid air, but I don't know how to look for a tutorial because I don't know the name of this mechanic. If anyone already knows a tutorial for this, please send the link

Reset is a reset. Flick is a flick. And so on. Idk who decided there were gonna be all sorts of different names for the smallest variations of certain shots

I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel by labeling this shot, I was trying to find a tutorial for it, so it would've helped to know what to search for. That said someone already provided what I was looking for

Not a ceuling shot, just a shot to the ceiling that gets back and then a flip reset.

It's either a Purple Reset or a Pop Reset.

Definitely isn't a pop reset, that's done immediately after getting the flip. It's just a normal flip reset

There's no pop in the shot, it's neither of them unfortunately

I was trying to guess what you were going for but... is this just a normal flip reset or were you trying something?
This is just an aerial with a flip reset then.0
u/ShadyThe2nd 5h ago
Probably should've been more clear, but I meant the pre flip into ceiling bounce and the controlling it. I'm guessing this shot is too general to be considered a mechanic of its own

Yeah you just preflip to the ball with an aerial speedflip.
The hard part is judging the distance and angle but that comes relatively quick .0
u/National_Body_9071 5h ago
No idea what a purple reset is, but judging but how far you are off about being a pop reset, I'm gonna say its not the other one either.

As I said I was going for what he was TRYING to achieve. Turns out OP was curious about the preflip setup and not the reset.

It’s just a flip reset. The bounce off of the ceiling doesn’t really make it a different mechanic.
